half-boned 'jumps' or stays with straps

A set of stays, partially boned with wool cover, linen lined. Much better fit than previous tries, but still a bit tall in front. Can probably trim off 1" of bust height and it will fit excellently. Shown with my own chemise pattern and a woven cotton stripe petticoat. Have made adaptions to the stays shown and did cut off about an inch. Fits under my jackets better!
